Super tiny and portable. This uses the same controller as the Mavic but has a ton of built in features to make it super easy to use. This is shipping middle of June and I bet it will be backordered for awhile - you can buy it from DJI directly here --> DJI SPARK.

Another day with my DJI Mavic. This thing takes really good pictures. This thing folds up into a tiny bag. This thing flies for a really long time on one battery. This drone is incredible. It flies for so long on one battery that you almost don't need two. The drone also has a ton of other features I haven't even begun to explore. Also, the DJI Goggles are coming out soon and I am expecting that to make this the all around most fun drone on the market. I will be able to fly FPV in full HD while having full control of the gimbal via head tracking on the goggles. All of that for under $1500... INSANE! Technology is changing so fast and DJI is making incredible products. I would highly recommend the DJI Mavic to beginning aerial photography pilots, real estate agents, pro aerial guys looking for a backup rig, traveling film makers, FPV enthusiasts, etc. etc.. My mind is blown by this thing. I decided not to get the fly more package because I did not like the bag that it came with. Instead, I opted for this Polar Pro bag. It cost 29.99 and works perfectly. I can pack it in a bag or just throw it in my truck.
I recently sold my DJI Inspire 1 to replace it with the DJI Mavic Pro. The main driver of this insanely difficult decision? A surf trip I have coming up this summer. There was just no way I could possibly bring the Inspire 1 with me. The Inspire is a work of mechanical art for sure, but it is not good for traveling.
These pictures are from my first two flights with the Mavic and they turned out really well considering I did not even try to fly during the best sunlight. The first group of photos I just flew out from my Lanai. The wind was pretty strong and I got lots of messages warning me about the wind. This got really annoying and hopefully I can turn it off. This little beast simply will not be able to match the wind performance of the Inspire 1 - I expected this. I knew the camera was not as good as the basic X3 of the Inspire 1 but the pictures turned out great. They are plenty enough for basic real estate and aerial photography around the water.
After my initial flights with this, I have to say it is awesome. It is super portable and quick to setup. It also stays in the air for a long time and is super quiet. As a surfer, there are often Mavic's buzzing around the line up and I can say they are significantly quieter than anything else I have ever been around. I would highly recommend this drone to just about anyone.
